I stayed up past midnight last night to start writing... I've probably written a load of rubbish, but at least I've managed to write something, and I refuse to look at it for now. I'll just keep writing...

I'm doing it again this year, although I forgot about it until a few days ago. I have a plot (romantic comedy) worked out, though. Of course, day 1 and I'm in training for 6.5 hours, followed by 2.5 hours of work, then a concert, so I'm not sure when I'll actually have time to write.

I'm in again this year (even though I didn't seem to find this thread till late, heh). I'm PearKiwi at the site, feel free to friend me if we aren't already.

This year, I'm just going to do a generic fantasy type novel. A princess is forced by her evil step mother to recover a long lost artifact, or die. She (along with her guard, who is working for the queen,) travel the land and other kingdoms along the way gaining a random group of ragtag adventurers who have their own reasons for joining her quest.

...I'm afraid I've spent more time working on the map of the land then working on the outline, heh. (The tutorial I'm using are at cartographersguild.com, in case anyone wants to try their hand at procrastinating. )

Ok first day. How many words did you do? And what is your daily target if you are aiming to do more than 50K words.

My target is about 2750-2900 per day

I managed to get to 5600 words on the first day, and my daily target should be around 2000 to 2500 from now on, but I am not sure I'll manage that because I'm already beginning to see the gaps in my research and a gaping plot hole...
